Jeep and Ram parts from Dubai

Automatically translated from the Russian article.
For Jeep and Ram, the origin of the donor is no less important than his year. In Dubai, you can find offers for cars of different markets. If the seller says "American" or "GCC," ask to add a VIN, the full part number, and a photo of the mounts.
Jeep Wrangler, Gladiator and Grand Cherokee
Wrangler has the designations JK and JL when searching. Specify the generation, the number of doors and the side. In the Gladiator JT, it is important to separate the cabin parts from the elements of the cargo platform. The similarity of the exterior panels to the Wrangler does not confirm compatibility. For sides, linings, taillights and harnesses, check the number and shape of the installation site. If the car is equipped with non-standard wings or bumpers, attach a photo of the actual configuration.
For the Wrangler JL, North American materials include a petrol V6 3.6 L Pentastar and a 2.0 L turbo engine, including a separate plug-in hybrid version of the 4xe on the respective model years. To search for the engine volume is small: you need the marking of the unit, date and type of power plant. For 4xe, a regular spare part with the same name is checked separately from the catalog. Before ordering the components of the hybrid system, the issue of installation and handling of the node is discussed with the specialized workshop.
The Grand Cherokee will specify the generation and body, including the difference between the regular version and the Grand Cherokee L, if we are talking about the corresponding series. For doors, rear elements and interior, the base and location of the rows are important. For suspension and transmission, ask the master what equipment is on the car. When searching for a transfer case or gearbox, ask for a photo of the unit plate, and by the gearbox confirm the gear ratio and configuration.
Ram 1500. Generation, cabin, body and engine
The Ram 1500 has DS and DT in its catalogs. The name Ram 1500 does not define a generation. At pickups, check the variant of the cabin, the length of the platform and the configuration of the board. If you need a taillight, check the type of optics and equipment next to it. For the side cover, specify what parts should remain from the donor: locks, wiring, camera, decorative lining and opening mechanism.
For the power unit, there are V6 3.6 L Pentastar, V8 5.7 L HEMI and inline 3.0 L Hurricane on the respective generations and years. These are families for initial search. To order the engine, you need the code of a specific unit, and for the box - its marking, type of drive and information about electronic control. If the engine is assembled, specify the supports, turbochargers, starter, generator and wiring according to the list. The engine with a donor car is useful to see the available diagnostic results and photo mounts.
The platform and large panels are evaluated before the calculation of transportation. Ask for dimensions, the condition of the lower part, mounting points and space under the taillights. If the goal is to restore the car to factory performance, you need a VIN and a list of surviving parts. If the previous owner installed a different bumper, farcop or tourniquet, attach the actual photos.
The Wrangler and Ram suspension have two landmarks – the factory configuration and the actual state of the machine. For a machine with a changed suspension height, photos of springs, shock absorbers, supports and fasteners are useful. If you need a standard part, check whether the car returns to the factory height. For the gearbox, check the gear ratio and the locking system. For brake components, ask the workshop to record the catalog position and confirmed parameters, so as not to focus on the size of the discs on the donor machine.
At Grand Cherokee and Ram, check which system is installed from the factory and which nodes have been replaced. If you order a suspension compressor, check whether the highways have been inspected and whether the source of the leak has been identified. By compressor compare the marking, mounting, connector and composition of the kit. When only the support or holder is defective, it is useful to build the estimate so that a separate bracket can be compared with the assembly.
GCC, EU and US. How to compare light and electronics
For optics, light functions, marking, side markers and electrical connection are compared. For the European version, specify the performance of the rear fog light, if it affects the part. For the GCC and US version, see the composition of the headlamp control units separately, even if the body is similar. On the mirror, fix the presence of the camera, folding, heating and the necessary connectors.
On the front bumper and grille, the position of the camera, radar or parking sensors is taken into account. If a non-standard power bumper is installed on the car, the photo of the car is more important than the assumption on the catalog picture. Compare the location of the sensor, the type of holder and the ability to restore factory position. Before repurchasing the electronics, the installer must check if the configuration is possible and if calibration will be required.
When buying at the disassembly, ask not for a general picture of the shelf, but photos of the part sold. All lines should be read in the marking photo. If the box or radar is already removed, it’s helpful to get the donor’s VIN and indicate what checks could have been done prior to dismantling.
Inspection and frequent errors
At the wing and doors inspect the internal seams, edges, places of hinges and fastenings. At the side of the pickup, check the internal frame and the operation of available mechanisms. For the headlight, inspect the mounts, body, lens and autopsy marks. If the seller can turn on the headlamp, specify in advance what modes should be shown. At the box and dispensary, see the condition of the case and connectors, request marking and information about the donor.
A common mistake is to confuse the configuration of the Ram cockpit and the length of the platform. Another is to assume that any mirror with a camera has the right functions. The Wrangler and Gladiator are especially easy to make a mistake if you search from the photo of the front and spread the result to the rest of the body. Check each position separately, including clips, guides and wiring.
If the order is made after an accident, divide the photos into three groups: the car itself, markings of removed parts and offers from sellers. At the part with the damaged label, take a photo of the conjugated element and the adjacent wiring. For body parts, be sure to sign the side from the driver's position, and when searching for a mirror, add information about the cameras and heating. For a pickup, record, buy the entire platform or need separate panels. This provides a clear basis for comparing the two estimates.
On the used unit, check that the label refers to the sold instance, and not to a similar box in stock. Ask for a general frame, then a large shot of the markings on the same case. When inspecting, it is important to see the places of impact, the condition of the mounts and connectors. According to the detail that the seller has already disassembled or washed, ask to clarify the condition before withdrawal and available confirmations. For power components, prepare a list of what the wizard will be able to transfer from your car, so as not to overpay for unnecessary positions and not to miss mandatory ones.
Packaging and shipment
The board, hood and door are fixed with the protection of edges. Headlights are separated from heavy parts, supports in the package should not put pressure on the anchorages. The engine and the box are fixed on the base and coordinate the handling of the residues of liquids. Before confirming the route, ask for dimensions after packing and clarify whether it is possible to divide the kit into several places.
Air reference to Russia and Belarus - 5-10 days, $12-20 per kg. Container to Moscow - about a month, $1.8-3.5 per kg. The exact conditions are confirmed separately. There is no minimum order value. Commission only on the price of parts: 10%. Packaging, shipping and customs separately.
On the frame, subframe or large support, check where the part was removed and in what area the impact was. Ask for photos of mounting points and measurements, if the workshop can provide them. If there are visible traces of recovery, first show the material to the installer, who will check the geometry.
For the rear light of the pickup, it is important to see a picture of the open platform from the side of the mount. So you can compare the shape of the seat and the position of the connector with your car.
